Boosting wireless signal

Boosting wireless signal

I'm not very computer savvy, but is there a way to boost the wireless signal from my U-Verse router? My wife's computer is a fair distance from the router and the signal varies between one and two bars. What can be done?

Re: Boosting wireless signal

is this the only wireless computer in the house? If not, do the other ones get a better signal?

Most of the time a weak signal (including dropped signals) is due to either distance o more oftenr signal interference. Take note what is near the RG and also was is between the RG and the computer....

Bypass the wifi issue completely with this. It'll use the AC wiring in your house to create the network..

Or if you have a cablebox (set top box...whatever you want to call it) that is close to your wife's computer, check to see if the network port in the back of it is not being used. If its unused, then you can run cat5 from your computer to that network port. Voila, instant internet.

Keep in mind the 1-2 bars thing really doesn't matter unless your wife is getting disconnected. All that matters is that her connection is stable.
